Something you may not know about me is that I am a license plate FREAK. Funny thing is I have NO license plate decor in my house! I have all sorts of ideas swirling through my head and am always on the lookout for old license plates. I about died when I saw the massive collection that was up for auction on the show Chasing Classic Cars that my husband watches. I have a few license plates, but they aren’t old. So I’ll keep looking, and watching for fun ideas, like this one from Chaep Crafty Mama. She turned an old license plate into a functional coat hook. Easy peasy!

Hidden Storage Fake Books – Why You Need Them
I am absolutely in love with these color-styled hidden storage books. They are one of those home decor finds that instantly make a shelf or coffee table look more styled, more thoughtful, and a little more expensive. Which color would you get?
What makes them so appealing is that they are not just decorative. Each faux book opens up to reveal hidden storage, which means they are doing double duty as both decor and a practical way to tuck away little bits of everyday clutter. I love anything that helps a space look beautiful while still being useful, and these do exactly that.
The blue tones in this set are especially lovely. They feel calm, elegant, and easy to blend into so many decor styles, from modern and coastal through to classic or vintage-inspired spaces. They have that curated designer look that makes it seem like you have carefully styled every corner of your home.
These are the kind of pieces that make me ridiculously happy because they solve a problem without looking like storage. You can use them to hide remotes, notes, keepsakes, or all those random little things that never seem to have a proper home. Instead of adding more baskets or boxes, you get something that looks polished and intentional.
I think that is why I am so taken with them. They are pretty, clever, and practical all at once. For anyone who loves styled bookshelves, beautiful coffee table decor, or home accessories that secretly work harder than they look, these hidden storage books are such a fun find.
